To all whom it'may concern:

Be it known that I, OSCAR voN SLAMA, a citizen of An'stria-Hungary, residing at Jersey Oity,in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Plastic Compositions for Use as Ornamental Moldings, 850., of which i the following is a specification. Y

Thisinvention relates to an improved plastic composition which is intended for use for the purpose of making ornaments for furni- .ture framesfor mirrors and pictures, burial- :caskets, and .the 1ike;and the invention consists of a plastic composition composed of sulphateof lime,'dextrine, soluble glass, andvege-- "table fibers, which composition is prepared in the following manner and proportions:

A forty-per-cent. solution of dextr ne in water is mixed with ten parts 0 so u v ass zzf'sxlicate of soda'f To this solution is added I lrom or y o sixty parts ofsulphate of lime V: I laster-ofaris until athlc yowing mass Stained. w

" is o ith 'this mass ve et-able fibers are thoroughly mixed. Them into the molds. :After the mass has setin the r molds it is removed from the same and slowly dried by exposure to a draft of airof ordinary -temperature or in a room heated to a te'ma 7 'perature of to 45 centigrade I When the composition is to be used for out- 30 door ornamentation, it is coated by a solution I of ceresin in alcohol, by which it becomes water-proof. .7 z t A trine r lxidsithesettin 15h e vege w ffslimar i v e compositionsacertainllfigreeof consistency and ren ders ittlcssuliabletmcrack -or break. v

To give the articlesany required color, they 40 may. be coated with a suitable color, so as to impart thereto the required character for which the ornaments or articles are used.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters 5 Patent-gm;- f v The plastic l 'gomposition gierein described, composed of xtrine, sul ate of lime, silicat of sodmmgetablefioers mixerl 1n I aliou e proportions se or 5o In'testimony that 'I claim the foregoing as my inventionl havesigned my name in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
